I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

Inside the Xianhe Manor, Lu Xuan was in the training room, constantly flipping through the ancient medical texts in his hands.

With his own comprehension, Lu Xuan quickly immersed himself in the ancient medical texts and the vast ocean of knowledge and energy within them.

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Preparations for the elixir exchange meeting within the city are also in full swing.

Although the actual exchange meeting has not yet started, many celebrities from the world of elixirs have already arrived.

The Tianyuan Sect really went all out to host this exchange meeting.

The pills at the exchange meeting will also be appraised and evaluated. To put it bluntly, it's a competition of the pills' grades and effects. It's just a nicer way of putting it so that there's no need to definitively rank them. After all, not everyone will acknowledge your judgment or agree with what you say, and doing so could easily offend people.

Under this pill evaluation, the top ten most popular pills will be selected, and the creators of each pill will receive generous rewards.

The prize for first place is 10,000 spirit stones!

Putting everything else aside, just the ten thousand spirit stones alone, plus the reputation and fame associated with it.

The rewards from such an event are unimaginable; they are incredibly abundant, and naturally everyone wants to participate.

Of course, the Tianyuan Sect also has a keen business sense, attracting many powerful sponsors, such as Guyun Pharmacy and Jinyuan Pharmacy, etc.

These rewards are all obtained from them. In any case, Tianyuan Sect has a lot of experience in this area, so they won't suffer any losses. On the contrary, they can take advantage of this opportunity to make use of the various values ​​involved.

In addition, Lu Xuan had a good reputation.

Many people also came here because of its reputation, wanting to buy the elixir.

Therefore, the entire Jinyuan City was bustling with activity.

People from all sides are working intensively.

Lu Xuan, however, paid no attention to anything else and focused entirely on studying the ancient medical text in his hands. Through the insights he gained from the text, his alchemy skills improved dramatically.

When Lu Xuan felt he had grasped the basics...

He immediately wrote down some medicinal herbs and then summoned Xiaoyu.

"Xiaoyu, go to Guyun Pharmacy right away and have Xu Jing prepare all these medicinal herbs and send them to me."

Lu Xuan said.

Xiaoyu solemnly accepted the pill formula from Lu Xuan and then ran out.

Lu Xuan also planned to refine an item-grade elixir.

This fifth-grade pill formula was something Xu Jing had helped her find some time ago.

It is called the Domain Spirit Pill.

As the name suggests, the effect of this elixir is to enhance one's domain power.

In the early stages, it can be used to build one's own spiritual power and create one's own spiritual foundation.

It is an excellent elixir for a fifth-rank martial artist.

The elixir itself is classified as a fifth-grade medicine.

Mastering the refining process is no easy task.

Even if a fifth-grade alchemist were to try, success would not be guaranteed.

Now, Lu Xuan wants to give it a try.

Let's see if we can refine this Domain Spirit Pill.

If possible, as Lu Xuan anticipated, he would need to refine enough Domain Spirit Pills to upgrade his Spirit Mansion Foundation.

Once he has completed building his spiritual palace, he can go to the Blood Vajra Cult and destroy it.

Then one can obtain enough power from these Blood Mistresses to advance to the sixth rank.

The Spirit Palace is merely a place that contains the power of a domain.

What is truly needed is to elevate one's own realm, which requires the assistance of the cultivation of the Blood Vajra Cult members.

Lu Xuan also believed that once his cultivation reached the sixth rank, dealing with the Blood Mistress Cult should not be a problem.

That's enough to ensure that none of them can escape.

Xiaoyu quickly brought the medicinal herbs back to Lu Xuan.

Most of these medicinal herbs are auxiliary herbs. Lu Xuan had already prepared the main herbs beforehand. Each harvest was handed over to Yue'er for her to help sort them. Lu Xuan also collected and stored some of the herbs separately so that he could quickly find the corresponding herbs when he needed to refine some pills.

Without hesitation, Lu Xuan took out the medicine cauldron after obtaining the medicinal herbs.

He gathered his breath.

He placed his palms on the medicine cauldron and then activated the spiritual ash holy flame within his body.

He poured all the power of the Holy Flame into it.

boom!

Instantly, a fierce flame burst into flames within the medicine cauldron.

The temperature also rose sharply at that moment.

As Lu Xuan added the medicinal herbs, he gradually recalled some knowledge he had gleaned from ancient pharmacopoeias.

At this moment, all of these things have materialized in my hands.

Lu Xuan's methods of refining pills had become more unrestrained and spontaneous, as if he had entered a state of complete selflessness.

Everything around him disappeared at that moment, leaving only the medicinal herbs in his hand and the medicine cauldron in front of him.

In fact, Lu Xuan seemed to see some strange things in the darkness.

When these strange objects appeared before him, they gave him a feeling of being untouchable. When Lu Xuan reached out to touch them, he suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold.

However, when this chilling power surged into his body, Lu Xuan suddenly gained an understanding of the power of the elixir.

"This is……"

Lu Xuan gasped sharply.

The Daoist principles of elixirs!

Even a tiny wisp of it brought Lu Xuan an unprecedented energy shock in an instant.

It was as if in that instant, Lu Xuan's own cultivation level in alchemy was continuously improved.

At this moment, Lu Xuan clearly felt that the refining of the medicinal herbs in the cauldron in his hand was as if divinely aided.

The pills that were originally difficult to condense were now being rapidly refined by Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan's alchemy cultivation reached an ultimate sublimation at this moment.

boom!

A fierce roar erupted from within the medicine cauldron.

Like an angry dragon, imprisoned within, desperately trying to break free.

"Do you think you can turn the world upside down in my hands?!"

Lu Xuan snorted coldly, and then the power around him was frantically suppressed downwards.

The restless power within the medicine cauldron also subsided at this moment, obediently falling into silence.

"Ugh, how could I have said something so pretentious? Everyone loves to show off!"

Lu Xuan sensed the change within himself and immediately shook his head slightly.

I used to think that no matter how others acted, once I had the ability, I would act the same way. No one could say anything about anyone else. Obviously, it would be the same no matter who was in charge.

After suppressing the first wave, the medicine cauldrons in their hands gradually stabilized.

Lu Xuan calmed his mind and slowly refined the pill in his hand.

During the few days that Lu Xuan was refining pills.

The pill exchange meeting in Jinyuan City is also in full swing.

But when you're in the world, unexpected troubles and problems are bound to come your way.

The people from Wolf King Valley have arrived.

Although the master of Wolf King Valley has not shown up, his disciples have already begun to cause trouble in the city.

Relying on the fact that the Valley Master of Tian Valley is now a fifth-grade expert, these little brats from Wolf King Valley have become even more unrestrained after arriving in Jinyuan City.

Especially in their view, what kind of experts could possibly appear in a small place like Jinyuan City?

That's just wishful thinking.

The people from Wolf King Valley came here to find the people from Medicine King Valley.

However, in the eyes of the Valley Master of Wolf King Valley, capturing a few alchemists to refine pills for him might not be such a bad thing.

Anyway, for these alchemists, it doesn't matter who they're making pills for.

However, the people of Wolf King Valley are not just brute force or fools.

On the contrary, they are insidious and cunning.

They led a group of people to cause trouble everywhere.

And so, the incident escalated directly to the Ancient Cloud Pharmacy.

"Your Guyun Pharmacy is a complete bully, taking advantage of your size and selling counterfeit medicine!"

"My senior brother got a prescription from you, took it, and has been unconscious ever since! Gu Yun Pharmacy, you'd better give us an explanation today, or we'll fight you to the death!"

Several burly-looking men carried an unconscious person on a stretcher and placed him directly at the entrance of Gu Yun Pharmacy. They then began shouting loudly to attract everyone's attention.

At this point, everyone realized it.

They're here to cause trouble.

Many customers who originally wanted to buy things were scared away by this scene.

Of course, most people were just there to watch the spectacle.

Gu Yun Pharmacy now holds an absolute central position in Jinyuan City and is also a merchant with an excellent reputation.

The people have great respect and love for Guyun Pharmacy because Guyun Pharmacy is charitable and generous. Even if a poor person comes to buy medicine, they will not be treated differently. Instead, the pharmacist will prescribe the most suitable prescription and they will be able to get a preferential price.

Therefore, Gu Yun Pharmacy has a very good reputation.

Now that Gu Yun Pharmacy has encountered this kind of trouble, many people seem to be looking forward to watching the show.

"Hehe, now Gu Yun Pharmacy is in trouble. We've finally hit a brick wall. We can't let Gu Yun Pharmacy have a monopoly."

"That's right. The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. With the strength of Gu Yun Pharmacy, it's bound to attract the jealousy of others."

"This was inevitable; it remains to be seen whether Gu Yun Pharmacy can withstand the pressure."

Everyone was watching with a spectator's mentality.

However, the ancient Yun Pharmacy, caught in the midst of storms, is not having an easy time.

When Xu Jing learned that someone had come to cause trouble, she immediately brought her people downstairs.

Now that Gu Yun Pharmacy has a good reputation, and with Xu Jing in control of fourth-grade pill resources, many people are willing to be recruited.

The fourth-rank expert that Xu Jing initially placed at the mine was someone she had recruited before.

The person who remained in charge of the pharmacy was a renowned master in the martial arts world.

Her name is Granny Jin Yu.

Granny Jin Yu is also skilled in concealed weapons and an expert in assassination.

For Xu Jing, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. The most important thing is to defend against some covert tactics.

Grandma Jin Yu is clearly a professional expert in this area, and having a professional around naturally puts one at ease.

Of course, Xu Jing also had another concern: what if she recruited another good-looking girl, and then the master took notice of her again? Wouldn't that put her under even more pressure?

Even now, it's not often that I get to be by the master's side anymore.

If this continues for a while, I'm afraid we won't even be able to see each other anymore.

Fortunately, there is a fresh girl by her side, whom the master has not yet won over, and perhaps he has someone in mind as well, that is Wen Lan.

Xu Jing's reason for cultivating Wen Lan was not only because of this, but also because Wen Lan's abilities were indeed very strong and she was a good assistant worth cultivating. After a while, Xu Jing wanted to leave the position of deputy director to Wen Lan. After she was well trained, she would let Wen Lan take over her position as director, while she would go to make deeper plans.

These are all things to be discussed later.

At this moment, Xu Jing, along with Wen Lan, Granny Jin Yu, and others, came down from upstairs.

When Xu Jing saw the scene before her, she understood the current situation.

They also clearly knew the true identities of these people.

"You all don't need to put on such a hard show."

"We're all friends in the martial arts world, we'll run into each other all the time, there's no need to kill our way out."

"Here's ten thousand taels. Consider it a meal for the Valley Master of Wolf King Valley. Now, take the person away."

Xu Jing said calmly.

Such tricks are commonplace; these people have absolutely no novel ideas in their minds.

"Ten thousand taels? Master Xu is treating us fellow disciples like beggars."

The group of burly men exchanged glances, and one of them said with extreme disdain.

The senior disciple who was lying down didn't rush to move first.

"Just name your number, don't interfere with my business."

Xu Jing sighed helplessly.

He immediately said.

For this kind of person, the best approach is to simply get rid of them.

However, sometimes you will encounter people who take advantage of you and even worse, who can't distinguish between what's important and what's not, and really think they are capable.

In that case, Xu Jing would have no choice but to resolve the issue with force.

"Hehe, Manager Xu, this matter was wrong of your Guyun Pharmacy first. Since you know about our Wolf King Valley, you also know that our Valley Master is not a petty person."

"How about this, one million taels of silver."

"Let's pretend this never happened. I'll carry our senior brother back immediately."

"However... besides the money, there's one more condition."

"Our Valley Master greatly admires Steward Xu's reputation and would like to invite him to the inn for a chat. I'm sure Steward Xu wouldn't mind, would he?"

Xu Jing's reputation was already well-known throughout the entire Jinyuan City.

Moreover, it has a very high profile.

So the people from Wolf King Valley heard about it as soon as they entered the city.

"presumptuous!"

Wen Lan, who was standing next to Xu Jing, was so angry that she was about to draw her sword.

But Xu Jing stopped her. Even if Wen Lan, with her strength, were to take action, she would still be brutally defeated by the other party.

"Okay, I understand."

"Old Gao, clear the area and close the door!"
